So it came out this week that the Baltimore Orioles voted Chris Davis a full share of their postseason money, a nice six-figure sum for a guy who wasn't even allowed to sit in the dugout during the playoffs.

The Baltimore Orioles are the American League East Champions for the first time in 17 years after defeating the Toronto Blue Jays Tuesday night, and Carroll County fans have playoff fever.

BALTIMORE — The Orioles have been getting outstanding performances from their starting pitchers over the last two weeks, and it was Wei-Yin Chen's turn Wednesday.
Baltimore's left-hander hurled seven scoreless innings and set a season high with seven strikeouts in the Orioles' 6-0 victory over Boston in front of 25,886 at Camden Yards.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The Baltimore Orioles won't have Matt Wieters for the remainder of this season. They'll miss his defense, as well as his offense.
Since Wieters went on the disabled list, the Orioles are now 15-20 after their 5-4 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays before 10,576 at Tropicana Field on Monday night.

BALTIMORE — Buck Showalter hasn't been extremely pleased with the Baltimore Orioles' schedule to this point in the season.
Many times, the Orioles have had night games on the final day of a road trip, followed by a home game the next night. That means the Orioles frequently have arrived back in Baltimore during the early hours and then play on little sleep.
The Orioles didn't arrive back in Baltimore until around 4 a.m. early Friday morning after a 10-game road trip that featured stops at...

Machado had surgery on his left knee last Oct. 14. A four-six month recovery was...

NEW YORK - By the time the Baltimore Orioles had scored two late runs, Masahiro Tanaka was long out of the game.

Ever been embarrassed before in front of a large crowd?
Chances are you won't match what happened Sunday afternoon at Camden Yards, where the Orioles finished their three-game series with Toronto and lost 11-3.
That's bad enough for Baltimore fans, but things got worse for the club's ballgirl who sat in foul territory down the left-field line.
Toronto's Edwin Encarnacion ripped a line drive over the third-base bag, and the ball was headed into the corner before the ball girl ranged to her left and made...
